8.5 Getting Started
After logging into the Web interface, you will need to first establish connection with the
devices (see
8.3 Connecting the Devices to CMS Server
). Next, prepare a content package,
transfer the package to the designated storage path on the local PC, and then upload the
package to the devices. You can also optionally plan your devices into groups for further
management (see
8.8 Planning the Group
) and arrange the playing orders of files for looping
videos and/or images (see
8.9 Arranging the Loop Video
).
8.5.1 Preparing the Package
There are 6 types of content packages you can upload to the device:
Loop Video
,
Scenario
,
Loop Scenario
,
Firmware
,
Schedule
and
Customized Loop Video
. For explanation on the
concept of Schedule, Loop Video, Scenario and Loop Scenario, see
Appendix. Definitions of

To prepare a content package, the Content Designer, Clip Design or Content Schedule tool is
required. You can install them from the Software DVD or from the Upload Management
section of the CMS Server. In the Upload Management section, select
